Feature Requests

Hi there,

there's a discussion about IGMP support in m0n0wall at the German sub forum.

The German access provider Telekom has an IPTV offer, however their own 'Speedport' branded routers are way to expensive, highly instable, crippled feature-wise and most don't even work to capacity. Because of that, many persons - including myself - have switched to m0n0wall which is rock stable even at highest loads on an old and inexpensive 450 MHz system.

However, Telekom IPTV won't work with it since only the first few seconds are transmitted via UDP broadcast meanwhile a multicast connection is established via IGMP. Since m0n0wall doesn't support IGMP yet, TV stream collapses.

Thanks in advance for considering!

Signed!

+1, subscribing.

subscribing, I would need this feature for the IP-TV spanish service too (imagenio)

Same for Triolan's IPTV in Ukraine. Need IGMP Multicast.

Tell me more ...  what ip addresses are used for the multicast streams and what error/firewall logs are you seeing ?

Denied Packets:

If: WAN
Source: WAN-IP
Dest: 224.0.0.1
Proto: IGMP

I have a rule for the WAN interface that allows any (!) IGMP-traffic. Just for testing, but IGMP-packets seem to be denied.

Seems this was covered before, there is a kernel change required to add multicast support, mrouted is needed, a firewall change , and lastly we might need an igmp proxy.

If I get time I will give it a whirl, but I don't have a source to test against.

here is an image with mroute compiled in the kernel, the built in rules for 224 blocking removed, and has mrouted and igmpproxy

you will have to configure mrouted OR igmpproxy and run them manually, there are no configs for these in the image

Hi,

thx for the pc image, seems to work on my test machine.

Could you do the same thing with embedded version, please? Or tell me how to do on myself 

Thanks

I'll try get to build an embedded at the weekend;

The easiest way to do these type of changes is to compile an new kernel and insert it into the stock image along with any binary additions, using workon.sh by cmb

untested, http://m0n0mods.googlecode.com/files/embedded-1.31-mcast.img

thx for the pc image, seems to work on my test machine.

Can you provide some sample configs / which commands are needed for it to work.. ?
